As you know, I am soooo in love with pie anything.....pies in a jar, pie pops, pie bites, pie...pie...pie etc.! I thought I had mastered them all until I thought of "pies in a lid".
They are the easiest most simple way to make a little individual pie I have ever seen! All you need is a wide mouth canning jar lid and ring, a baking sheet, non-stick spray, your favorite pie dough and filling. Lay the rings on a baking sheet and place the lids inside the rings. Spray with a coat of non-stick spray and press your pie dough into the lid.
I found the easiest way to do this was to find a round "template" to cut the dough out. I used a round plastic bowl just a half inch larger than my wide mouth rings. This allows for extra dough to pinch into a lovely crust. Pour in your filling and bake at a normal temperature. I have found that these little pies bake in a quarter of the time of a regular pie...so set your timer accordingly.
Once they are finished baking let cool a few minutes and pop the ring and bottom off the shell and serve! They come out perfect every time. I am busy making some up for our family's Thanksgiving feast...a little apple, pear & cranberry, and of course pumpkin! I hope you have fun with this new little idea!!!
